The Chinese word 超市 (chāoshì) for "supermarket" is a compound of two characters: 超 (chāo), meaning "super" or "beyond", and 市 (shì), meaning "market" or "fair". The term "supermarket" was first used in the United States in the early 20th century to describe a large, self-service grocery store. The concept of the supermarket quickly spread to other countries, including China, where it was adopted and adapted to the local language and culture. The Chinese word 超市 (chāoshì) is a direct translation of the English word "supermarket", reflecting the global nature of the concept and its widespread adoption.
